Who We Are

Galveston Bay Foundation volunteers and community event

Galveston Bay Foundation is a conservation nonprofit that has served as guardian of Galveston Bay since 1987. Our mission is to preserve and enhance Galveston Bay as a healthy and productive place for generations to come.

We work to facilitate a true cross-section of Bay interests through creative, inclusive, and forward-thinking solutions to the challenges confronting Galveston Bay.

We envision a future Galveston Bay that is brimming with vitality, connected to people, and contributing to the community in every possible way.

What We Do

Through actions and partnerships and a commitment to sound science and research, we have five main program areas in which we work on behalf of the Bay. They are education, habitat restoration, water protection, land conservation, and advocacy. Each program area is broad and deep, offering a range of solutions and opportunities to preserve the Bay for generations to come.

Docent-Guide Training

In Winter 2026, recruitment will open for volunteers interested in helping conduct community outreach and help with tours of our new Gessner Center. Create an account to receive volunteer alerts.
